Meat Board resignation
By ROBIN CHARTERIS in London The European director of the Meat Board for the last two years, Mr Erik Trautmann, has resigned because of the board’s new policy to return New Zealand meat marketing to private companies. Announcing this in London yesterday,' the board’s ctatiyhan, Mr Adam Begg,
said the parting was amicable. Since the responsibility for wholesaling New Zealand sheepmeat in Britain would pass back to private enterprise this year, the board no longer had a commercial operation in Britain, he said. Mr Trautmann, who was appointed by the board in January, 1984, from his posii/tion as British managing
director of a Danish bacon company, said the board’s decision had come , as a shock to him, especially since it was not known what would' replace the present marketing system. He expects to stay with the board until private importers take control of marketing, probably at the end of February. His future plans am uncertain.
